Has anybody used stainless steel brake lines on their bike?What kind of brake lines will work on a 96 FE501 Husaberg?I know something has to but I don`to know what.Both front and rear are starting to show some wear and tear on my bike that is why I`am asking. Thanks

At work we make our own brakelines for the sidecars and MX quads we manufacture. These are also the stainless types and function without a problem. When I had my Yamaha enduro, a tree just passed my way :wink: and my frontline got damaged. I replaced it with a stainless one and it worked out fine.

:idea:What I was meaning was what lines will interchange.Say on the front{ routing like a CR}and the back.What works?Do you measure the length and then add the right ends or what?I tryed to price a line for my berg a while back.Didn`t have it in stock but would send it by dogsled through the Sahara Desert :twisted: So what will work?By the way I found and fixed the leak on the rear brake line but I know it is just a matter of time.

On my 02 it has the Honda routing I think. For the rear you won't find an other interchangable brand easily as the rear brake is left where the most have them right.
We have the cable in lenght so we have to cut them and then put on the ends we need.

The stainless steel lines are more effective and the brake actuate faster than the original ones. This is because the ss doesn't expand when you apply the brake lever and the oem do. Most of the racing machines use this type of lines.

Apart that, you can use them in your bike without major problems.
